Notes: figures expected to improve with the additions of Syracuse & Pittsburgh

Big East6 years, $200 million, ABC/ESPN [CBS contributes $9 million of total] (through 2013)Annual: $33 millionAverage Annual per School: about $3 million for football schools

Notes: contract is expected to change with the losses of Syracuse and Pittsburgh but will still grow due to the valuation of available conference television contracts (Big East is next conference up for renewal).

13 years, $1.17 billion, Fox (through 2025)8 years, $480 million, ABC/ESPN (through 2016)Annual: $150 millionAverage Annual per School: $15 millionNotes: The Big 12 contract is expected to remain as it is if a 10th school is added to replace Texas A&M. If the conference opts to expand to 12, the per-school payouts would likely remain the same with the total overall annual increasing. Expansion to 12 would also add a championship game expected to fetch a payout of $10-$18 million per year.

Pac-12

12 years, $2.7 billion, Fox/ABC/ESPN (through 2024)Annual: $225 million (* $505 million potential)Average Annual per School: $18.8 million from Fox/ABC/ESPN (* $30 million projected with Pac-12 Network)* Pac-12 Network: the network will launch in 2012 with a primary network and 6 regional networks. Revenue projections combined are expected to be in the same range if not more than the Big Ten Network, which produces $280 million per year at $11 million per school.Notes: New members receive 50% share in 2012, 75% share in 2012, 100% share in 2014

SEC

15 years, $2.25 billion, ESPN (through 2024)15 years, $825 million, CBS (through 2024)Annual: $256 millionAverage Annual per School: $21 millionNotes: contract is expected to be renegotiated with the addition of Texas A&M, maintaining the current per-school payout. The SEC may be on it’s way to starting it’s own network that depending on future additions, could gain the conference and additional $10-$20 million per school per year).

Highlights of articles include Raycom's attempt to reinvent itself with additional revenue sources prior to starting ACC negotiations later this year.Also,the attempt over the next several months by Barry Frank to create negotiating leverage to get the networks to cough up a "SEC type increase". Although the term "ACC Network" was not mentioned at all,will Mr Frank have to resort to the same lever that worked for the Big Ten and the SEC? Time will tell.

ThanksFreaked

The Big 10 is clearly the leader in every one of their states within the Big 10 footprint. This gives them a huge leverage when negotiating with the cable companies. I would say the same thing about the SEC, Big 12, and Pac 10 (if they wanted or could start a network of their own).

I'm not sure if that is the case with the ACC outside of the Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina. South Carolina is probably split between the SEC and ACC. The ACC is clearly not the leader in Georgia (UGA is over GT) and Florida (Florida over FSU and Miami). This may cause problems for them getting it statewide at a rate similar to the Big 10. ABC doesn't always show the ACC FB regional game (3:30 Saturday game) in the Boston/NE DMA.

Anyway, the next round of ACC contract negotiations will be interesting.

Article from Multichannel News reporting that BTN ad sales are apparently running ahead of projected goals in spite of the bad economy.Looks like the BTN is currently in about 70 million homes nationally with about 43 million subscribers.Link at http://www.multichannel.com/article/162 ... verage.php

Have you recently compiled the TV contracts or best 'estiimates' of what they are for the 11 1A conferences - especially now with the MAC and SECs deals now completed? If so, can you post that information? For my recollection, There's like 7 'tiers'?
